    Will independent Republicans effect sinn fein?

    Do you think the independent republicans who decide to stand in the forthcoming elections will have an effect on Sinn Fein and the outcome?

    Sinn Fein will attract more than enough extra votes to offest any such effect in % terms. These guys are pretty divided and don't have a coherent alternative message. The main danger - in one or two constituencies - is perhaps turnout but here Sinn Fein have a good record of success.
